Lung and Pleural Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease: Two Contrasting Case Reports.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immunomediated disease that can virtually affect any organ. Despite the pancreas being known as the most frequently involved organ, pulmonary and pleural IgG4-RD is being increasingly reported. The authors present two cases of IgG4-RD diagnosed in the same year, with different presentations and outcomes, in which the lung and pleural involvement were essential for the diagnosis. Recognizing IgG4-RD as a possible cause of chronic pleural effusion and/or thickening and lung abnormalities is important for an early diagnosis and prognosis improvement.
